25、o years ago.He always dreams about a fabulous hole-in-one,since he wants to win the BMW as the top present for hole-in-one.The driver,the most powerful club in the bag,is most commonly used off the tee.John used to drive with his full strength so as to hit the ball on the green or even into the hole
26、,which,on the contrary,resulted in worse drive shots.Most of the time,he got a slice,a hook,a top,or even a miss.John went to a golf pro for help after being hurt by the heavy blow.To his surprise,the golf pro told him that position,rather than power,is the most important factor off the tee.The pro
27、went on to explain and John learnt that professional golfers,who have a far greater awareness of this fact than the average player,hit most of their drives at only 70-80 percent of full power.This is the kind of attitude one should apply to his tee-shot strategy:accuracy,not length,is paramount.“In
28、fact,to help you remember this vital truth,whenever you step on to the tee,you should not simply aim at the airway in general but should instead identify a more specific target,such as a small mound or discolored area of grass.”This is what the pro said.With this suggestion,John believes that he wil
29、l tee off much better,and,one day,he will eventually hole in one!Notes:1.The slice:A slice is a shot where the ball starts on a course to the left of the target and swerves,often quite dramatically,from left to right through the air.Because the problem is made more acute by a lack of loft,the bigges
30、t slices are hit with straight-faced clubs such as driver,3-wood,and long irons.2.The hook:This shot is sometimes described as the“good players bad shot”because the hands are very active through the hitting area.This is generally desirable,yet an incorrect swing path and closed clubface leave the ba
31、ll flying well off line.With a hooked shot,the ball begins on a path to the right of the target and then moves right-to-left through the air.As with the slice,the problem is exaggerated by a lack of loft on the clubface,hence the biggest hooks occur with the driver.3.The top:The clubhead just clips

42、ps off the tee.Look at the following pictures and discuss those aspects of teeing off.参考译文：参考译文：好的开始是成功的一半！好的开始是成功的一半！约翰两年前开始打高尔夫。他总是梦想着一杆进洞，因为他想赢得一杆进洞的最高奖励一台宝马车。一号木是所有球杆中力量最大的，也是开球最常用的球杆。约翰以前总是用尽全力地开球，企盼着一杆攻上果岭，甚至直接入洞。但事实却恰好相反，很多时候，球不是右旋就是左旋，或者剃头，甚至干脆打空了。约翰受此沉重打击，只好找高尔夫教练寻求帮助。令他惊讶的是，教练告诉他，开球的时候，最重要
43、的不是力度，而是球的位置。教练继续解释，约翰受益匪浅。现在他知道了，专业的高尔夫球员，比普通球员更能清晰地意识到这一点，他们往往开球的时候仅用70-80%的力度。开球的时候，应该抱着这样的态度：至关重要的是精确度，而不是开球距离的长度。“事实上，为了帮你记住这个重要的事实，不管你什么时候踏上开球台，你都不能仅仅瞄着球道，你应该确定一个更具体的目标，比如一个小土丘，或者远方的一块草。”教练这么说。有了这些建议，约翰相信他的球会开得更好。终有一天，他会一杆进洞的！Reading Text 2Pre-reading questions:How many sets of tee markers doe
